how much does it cost to replacement of the head valve gasket on 3.4l

im looking for to replace my head valve gasket on my 3.4 l v6 engine any source i would be much appropriate it im here at Annapolis, MD (its leaking every time i start the engine)

 

50 bucks if you do it yourself... kits on Rockauto

 

how hard is it should i replace the belts as well

 

Valve cover or head gasket?

Two very different jobs.

 

head gasket of the engine oil is leaking bad

 

Typically I encourage people to DIY, but I really think you should take your truck to a shop for professional diagnosis and repair.

 

Eh...valve covers are notorious for leaking oil, but that's an easy job to do.

Head gasket would be if it failed and coolant was mixing with the engine.

I still don't think you know what you're wanting to do; just trying to help you figure it out.

 

i wish I was closer this poor person should have some in person help.

I feel going to a shop will be safer in the long run but They will be taken advantage of in a big way.

All kinds of posts asking for help on about everything !

 

Just knowing what he needs to do exactly would allow members to post a video how-to, or must-have tools, or "gotchas" when doing any job.

He says head gasket, but mentions oil.

If he indeed spotted oil seeping from the top of the engine, then he is probably mistaking it for his valve cover. That'd be a good mistake to make as doing the valve cover is much faster and easier.

That wiring harness/wrap is brittle though so I'd be ready with a vacuum to pick up any debris and be prepared to wrap it once everything gets buttoned up.

 

its valve gasket i have a video guys.

 

Let me be the first to say that is a dip stick or do we call it a dipstick.

 

You mean valve cover gasket?

It seems you're just ignoring posts at this point, even though people are trying to help you.
